Days 7, 8, 9 and 10....

Day 7 => Challenge: use a photo and title but no other journaling...This is actually one of my favorite photos and I took it at sunset lookingat the shrimp boats tied up at the People's Street L-Head. I did nottouch up this photo in any way- that is exactly the way the boats lookedin the soft pink orange light of the sunset.

Day 8 => Challenge: Create a layout without any photos. Concentrateon the story.

Okay, well, I didn't use a photo but I did use chalk pastels to draw thefish and some sea grass on the patterned paper. So I kind of feel like Icheated but I'm very happy with the result -wish I could write a bitstraighter but Oh Well. Totally LOVE the white paint pens by Sharpie.I have not had any luck with any other white pen - they just don't wantto work for me (any brand and I've tried them all!)- but the Sharpiewhite paint pen/marker is awesome. I love the results I get with it.

Day 9 => Challenge: Use all of the story telling techniques we havelearned about this past week and create a layout that concentrateson the story.

Punkin taught herself how to draw a lamb by looking at a stuffed animaland copying what she saw. Then after creating a few she challenged usto try our hand at drawing sheep too. This layout doesn't have a photobut it does include the original drawings. I thought about putting miniframes around them but, truthfully, I was running out of time to get itposted due to a lengthy Weblos Pack meeting activity session last night.I do wish I had made the word "draw" larger than the word "you" in thetitle but Oh Well. : )

I had a couple of LOADers ask to see a closer view of the sheep so I alsoposted that.Silly, huh?

Day 10 => Challenge: Use only cardstock, photo, title and journaling tocreate a layout today.

I enlarged a photo Hubby took using his iPhone after our celebrationdinner in San Antonio 2 Saturdays ago. Punkin won several differentawards at the Judge's Cup Meet and we were so thrilled that she hasshown so much improvement since just starting to compete in late July.She wasn't sure even how the events would work and has really gottenthe hang of how the meets run and what is expected. She is superexcited about next year. I'm glad she enjoys it and I'm super proud ofher.

Well, we're 33.3% through the month! See you tomorrow for Day 11!xoxox-Csmoferret
